It’s getting colder and the holidays are coming up fast. But there’s still time to fundraise! Here at SaveAround we make fundraising a breeze — even cooler than the autumn wind.
Late-Fall/early-Winter is an ideal time to fundraise because your supporters are looking for holiday gifts. Each of our coupon books have deals at both national chains and local businesses, and we have 100+ different local editions. That means all of your supporters will get a great book that will help them save big and there’s a good chance they’ll buy multiple books around the holidays to give as gifts!
When you fundraise with SaveAround, you get up to 50% of each book sold. That’s one of the highest profit margins in the industry, and it adds up fast.
We also provide each group with a unique SupportOurGroups webpage. Think of it as your own online webstore. Simply share your link, and you get credit for any online sales just as you would a physical book. This flexibility lets you reach your friends and family from out of town. You can do both, either, or neither — you don’t have to choose. It’s a free service we provide to help you, and a good compliment to your in-person sale.
Finally, our fundraisers are simple, easy, and risk-free. There are never any up-front costs! Simply return unsold books with free shipping both ways. You never pay for lost or damaged books, either.
Whether you want to raise funds for your class trip, new uniforms, or just a little to fill out your budget, SaveAround is here to help. It’s already October but our fundraisers are fast and easy enough that you can finish before the holidays. We’re here to help you get started!
]]>The world is online these days! Whether it’s looking up store hours, shopping for necessities, or finding phone numbers, it’s easier than ever to get things done online. That’s why SaveAround has introduced new tools to help your fundraiser be even more successful online.
We want you – our fundraising groups – to have as simple and smooth a fundraising campaign as possible. Each group that fundraises with us gets their own personalized web page through our online platform SupportOurGroups. That means that we provide you with your very own fundraising store. Best of all, your website has a unique link that’s perfect to share on social media and through email/text.
You get credit for each and every coupon book purchased through your SupportOurGroups page. And because SaveAround fulfills online orders, your supporters who may live across the country can get their books shipped directly to them — saving you the hassle and earning you that extra sale. You’re effectively expanding your fundraiser outside of your local area to anyone who might want a SaveAround coupon book. Remember, we have 100+ unique coupon books with local deals for different locales.
These online payments are handled seamlessly when you close out at the end of the fundraiser and you can see all of your online sales throughout the fundraiser. How? Through the new ChairpersonPortal!
You can manage your entire fundraiser from your ChairpersonPortal. It allows you to customize your fundraising page with logos, images and descriptions. Group leaders like you can also track their online sales, make a payment for delivered books, and generate earning statements. Customizing your page will make it easier for your supporters to identify that they’ll be supporting you directly!
Finally, we added a new way to collect payment for your physical, in-person fundraiser. Normally you collect cash and check from your supporters before the fundraiser ends. Now, you can take down credit card information on our secure online payment platform SAPayNow. That means your supporters can pay by card when they hand in their order, saving you the hassle of collecting funds. Because these are local supporters, you’ll fulfill their books at the end of the fundraiser as you would any other. Just a note: you can use SAPayNow only sometimes or not at all, and you can still collect cash and check as you’ve been doing. SAPayNow is just another option available to you to make things easier for your supporters that might not carry cash and check.
So you’ve got SupportOurGroups, which is your personalized page. And you’ve got your control panel as the group leader running the show on the ChairpersonPortal. And you’ve got a new way to process credit card payments through SAPayNow. These three tools will help you run a more effective fundraiser and take it to the next level!

With a SaveAround coupon book, it’s easy to save a bunch of money while enjoying everyday activities.
Today we’re going to look at a day in the life of the Porter family, a family of four. The family bought a SaveAround coupon book from the kids down the street who were fundraising for their school’s soccer team.
This weekend, they brought their coupon book along with them to spend a Saturday running errands and having fun in their hometown.
Breakfast At A Local Diner
Although they first bought the SaveAround book to support their neighbor’s soccer fundraiser, they were surprised to find one of their favorite diners in the book. They hadn’t been to it in some time.
Given that this diner is a bit of a hidden gem in their hometown, it’s not exactly well-known. And as a small Mom & Pop store, they’re certainly not advertising like a chain restaurant would. Yet, here they were in the SaveAround book, a fact that gave the Porter family the perfect excuse to revisit it.
His two young boys enjoyed their pancakes while he and his wife ordered omelettes and homefries. They tore the coupon out of their SaveAround book, and presented it with their credit card as they paid the bill. The coupon was for 25% off of their bill of $40 so they saved $10 just like that. Nice way to start the morning!
Savings: 25% off $40 = $10
Grocery Shopping
Next was one of their regular shopping destinations, their weekly trip for groceries. This store was part of a chain, so the Porter family was pleasantly surprised to find offers available for it.
They already spend a few hundred dollars a month between a couple of different grocery stores in the area, so having a coupon for this particular grocery store would not only save them money but made them a little more apt to shop at this store versus other stores.
This coupon was for $5 off and was redeemed without a hitch just like it had been at the diner. Just by remembering their book, the Porter family saved $5 off their grocery bill for the week, with no extra hassle or loopholes. Pretty neat!
Savings: $5 off of $75 = $5
An Afternoon At The Science Museum
With their chores out of the way, they had enough time to go to the Museum they had been meaning to go to for a while. Mrs. Porter noticed that while the museum was not in the printed book, it did show up in the SaveAround app on her Smartphone.
So when it came time to pay, she presented her phone to the museum cashier, who verified the deal on the screen as they would any other coupon. The deal was for BOGO admission ($20) so Mrs. Porter got in for free. The Porter family was on their way to explore the museum.
Savings: BOGO Museum Admission, $20
A Car Wash On The Way Home
Driving home they saw a sign for a car wash. Despite living in the area, they had never been before. Regardless, they found it in the coupon book and tore out the paper coupon to pass to the car wash attendant. He scanned the paper coupon and said they were eligible for a free upgrade from a Premium car wash to a Deluxe wash with a free waxing which saved then $5. Another pleasant surprise.
Impressed with how fast the car wash was and how nice their car looked, the Porter family made a mental note to come here next time their car was dirty.
After a long day, the Porter family headed home to play board games together.
Savings: Upgraded Deluxe Car Wash, $5
Time For Dinner
After relaxing for a few hours the Porter family decided to go out to dinner at a new Italian restaurant that had just opened up down the street. Sure enough there was a SaveAround coupon for BOGO children’s meals.
One of their sons ate free of charge, saving them $15. The meal was great and the additional savings convinced the Porters that they’d definitely return.
Savings: BOGO Child’s Meal, $15
Pit Stop For Ice Cream!
On the way home, the kids saw a new ice cream shop through the window. The parents remarked that they hadn’t seen it before, and it must be new in town. Despite that, Mrs. Porter looked in the SaveAround book and it was a regional chain that has other shops in the area.
Sure enough, the new location was printed on the coupon, and the kids cones were free with the purchase of the adult cones.
Expected savings: Two Kids Cones Free, $4
One Book, Endless Possibilities
The story of the Porter families’ Saturday outing is not all that uncommon! As you can see, in just one day they saved enough money to pay for the cost of the book and then some. Because each book is valid for more than a year, they’ll continue to save as they explore other local businesses.
With the SaveAround book, it’s easy to save. And because each book includes a code for our complimentary mobile app, you can save wherever you go.
With deals customized for over 110+ different cities, bring a SaveAround coupon book with you this weekend, too!
From restaurants to recreation and retail, check out SaveAround and start saving in your hometown!
Total Daily Savings: $59

]]>Fundraising is difficult. With so many moving parts, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. That’s why our decades of experience makes SaveAround the easiest, most effective school fundraiser. Get all your students involved in an easy, FUN (and completely risk-free) fundraising campaign.
The SaveAround difference is our product — you’ve probably already seen it. As America’s premier coupon book with over 125 editions, we help schools, sports teams, and community organizations fundraise across the country.
In addition to offering your unique local edition, you’ll be provided with a unique online web store so friends and family from out of state can get their book (and still support you while doing it.) We’ve put a whole lot of time, energy, and effort into our books because we’re committed to offering schools a superior product, wherever you may call home.
We believe fundraisers should offer real value to be truly effective. A SaveAround fundraiser is different than other fundraisers because our book is filled with quality offers at the businesses and restaurants you and your supporters already frequent.
A SaveAround fundraiser is risk-free for you and your students. Each student interested in fundraising receives a sample book. They can use it to show friends and family exactly what they’re getting, and flip through to see the value it holds. This sample book is provided on consignment: if a student sells nothing, simply return the book at no cost.
While some students may misplace things, we solved this problem through a simple incentive. If the student sells five books, they get to keep their sample. At the very least, students take care of their take-home book as if it’s their own — because it might be!
Our effort to provide a quality product, helpful promotional tactics, and a streamlined fundraising process has made us of one of the country’s most popular fundraising options. Schools reported back that not only were students motivated to participate in order to earn their own book, but students were showing extra care and responsibility for their possessions.
Simply put, our fundraiser motivates students to learn these life skills. We’re also proud of our online fundraising platform, SupportOurGroups — the perfect compliment to a physical coupon book fundraiser!
Getting started is simple. Express your interest here and one of our team members will reach out to you with the specifics!
]]>It’s sunny, the days are getting longer, and the kids are almost out of school — Summer’s almost here!
What better way to kick back this summer than with a SaveAround Coupon Book?
With thousands of local merchants all around the country, the possibilities are endless. Each SaveAround coupon book is customized for your hometown, so you can save at all of your favorite local businesses. Having fun, saving money and supporting local businesses: that’s a win-win-win.
There’s savings on a wide variety of entertainment inside each SaveAround coupon book: Mini golf, water parks, roller-blading, theme parks, sporting events, bowling, laser tag, the zoo, and ice cream. Or hit up Dick’s Sporting Goods to get ready for your next excursion.
When it’s time to eat, we have you covered. We have thousands of local restaurants in our merchant network for those nights where you don’t really feel like cooking. Our books also come with savings to your favorite chains like Ruby Tuesday, and Papa John’s Pizza, just to name a few.
Not sure what to do? That’s okay-- our app can help you explore! Each book has a unique code for our mobile app, so you can explore like a local if you’re traveling, right from your phone. For travel we have great partners in Wyndham Hotels, CheapOAir, Car Rental - Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise to make your arrangements a breeze. The companion mobile app is perfect when you’re looking to save on your upcoming summer trip with the family! As a family-owned company, SaveAround knows the importance of spending time with your family.
Not sure where to start saving? One activity that is becoming popular with our customers is the “random pick”. Take turns letting your kids open your SaveAround book to a random page and letting them pick out an activity located on that page. It makes things more interesting and gets the whole family involved in selecting new activities.

We consider ourselves the best coupon book because our product provides unique benefits to a variety of different groups of people. For example: while our fundraising groups use our coupon book to raise money for their unique causes, our consumers also get great deals at their favorite businesses (BOTH in their hometowns and across the country!), and our merchants bring in new loyal customers. Our product is a true win-win-win for local communities and we’re proud to play such a large role in supporting the people who support us!

Even though our roots go back 40 years we never stop learning and innovating. We continually refine our core product to bring our customers the very best. As most of our books are sold through fundraising channels, we’re always looking for ways to improve that process too. An example of this is the launch of our custom apparel division through SAink. Whatever your fundraising group may need, we have a product and solution that will work for you!
In the middle of SaveAround HQ, located in Binghamton NY, we have a wall of the values that drive our company.
Those values are:
We’re proud to place these values above all else in an uncompromising vision of how we want to manage ourselves.
We truly appreciate all of your support!
]]>Pick A Product That Works For Your Organization
There are many fundraising options out there. They fall into two categories: great and not-so-great. While many fundraisers rely on generosity and a huge markup, the good ones can be identified by the strength of the product and the value it provides. Picking a fundraising product that has real-world value will not only provide a great experience for your supporters but will have them ready to support your next fundraising campaign!
Start With A Plan & Stay Organized
Try to keep your fundraising goals simple. Make a list of who your target supporters are and in what areas. For instance, if you’re a school, supporters are likely to be parents, teachers, staff and alumni of that school. Once you’re ready to kick-off your fundraiser make sure you’re organized. All of your group participants should be well versed in the product you’re selling, its benefits, and the best ways to promote it. We also recommend setting realistic goals for each member of your organization so that they stay on-task and motivated. And don’t forget to stress the “WHY” your fundraising campaign — a consistent message of why, exactly, you’re raising money. Supporters are much more likely to get behind a specific cause than a general one. We can’t stress enough the importance of recruiting dedicated volunteers to your cause who are available and willing to help you achieve your fundraising goals.
Stay Focused
A shorter, more focused fundraiser is more effective than a long and uninspired campaign. Running too many different fundraisers can lead your supporters to mental and financial fatigue. We find that running a single, quality fundraiser brings in more earnings and a more enthusiastic response than running 2-3 other fundraisers simultaneously. It can be counterproductive to run multiple fundraisers in quick succession. You may experience a drop in earnings or even lose supporters frustrated by continued requests for their money and effort. You can remedy this by running one, simple, and effective fundraiser that scales well with a high earning potential. It’s important to give your supporters a heads-up about your plans and schedule so that they aren’t blindsided when the time comes. While there’s a lot of reasons why SaveAround coupon books fit the bill, the simple answer is that decades of experience have proven it!
Leverage All Of The Tools At Your Disposal
We understand that supporters will shop in different ways. A majority of our fundraising groups utilize in-person selling, but this can ultimately limit the reach and effectiveness of your fundraiser. SaveAround makes it easy to sell not only in-person, but online as well. Online selling allows you to reach supporters outside your home market as well as local patrons you may have not directly reached in your first sweep. With online fundraising, you can spread your fundraiser through social media and email outreach with minimal effort. Never hesitate to ask your fundraising provider for sales collateral, flyers, and any other tools you believe will help increase the effectiveness of your fundraising campaign! A good fundraising company will provide the materials and websites you need to succeed.

We know how difficult it can be to raise funds because we’ve been there. As an American company, SaveAround is run by the parents of students, athletes, scouts, youth groupers, and more. We know the hurdles you may be experiencing when it comes to fundraising! And four decades of experiences have helped us make not only 160+ fantastic coupon books but also a superior fundraising product.
What do we mean by superior? We firmly believe SaveAround books are the best product in the industry. Better than wrapping paper or chocolate bars, our books contain real value rather than an some of the other overpriced items in the fundraising space. Most of our books are $25 and each contains thousands in savings. Best of all, with one of the highest profit margins in the industry your group can earn up to 50% of each sale. That’s $12.5 for selling a book that many of your friends and family are already looking for and could really use.
Many parents report their sale was as easy as bringing the free sample book and envelope to work. Because the envelope doubles as an order form, you can even leave the book in the break room. Your coworkers can write their own orders and leave checks in the envelope. No awkwardness, no selling. If you sell just five books, you’ll get to keep an extra one for yourself, too. Plus, we’ve developed an easy-to-use online fundraising platform so that you can expand your sale outside your home market to friends and family across the country.
A SaveAround fundraiser is risk-free for you and your students. Each student interested in fundraising receives a sample book. They can use it to show friends and family exactly what they’re getting, and flip through to see the value it holds. This sample book is provided on consignment: if a student sells nothing, simply return the book at no cost.

]]>These days it’s hard to get your money’s worth. Especially when it comes to school or sports fundraising, there’s a lot of overpriced trinkets and treats. While it’s great to help your schools and sports organizations, wouldn’t it be great to get something of value in exchange?
That’s why SaveAround is a leader in the fundraising space. For over four decades we’ve provided local organizations with a way to raise funds and give their supporters something valuable in return.
We want to provide you with savings at the local businesses and national chains you love most — and raise money for causes you care about at the same time. That’s why SaveAround shares up to 50% of profits with the groups that fundraise with us, one of the highest profit margins in the fundraising industry.
So ask your schools and sports teams to get started fundraising with SaveAround! Our experienced team makes it easy to sell books in-person and online.
Don’t know any groups that need to fundraise? That’s okay, you can still order an individual book online, shipped to your door.
P.S. Every book comes with a subscription code for our mobile app for iOS or Android. The SaveAround mobile app is location-aware, meaning that whether you’re traveling for school or work, or even move across the country, your app will help you find savings near you.
]]>Every team loves to win. But coming together is the real reason we play.
As individuals, striving to be the best that we can be.
As a team, working to grow together.
As a community, cheering together during a hard-fought game.
As a company full of lifelong fans and players, we know the true value of sports, too. As parents and coaches ourselves, we know the positive impact teams can have on each other and on their community. So we set out almost four decades ago to make the perfect fundraiser for sports teams.
We know simplicity is a virtue when it comes to managing your team, so we designed our fundraiser to be as simple as possible. SaveAround is unique in that there are no out of pocket costs and no order minimums.
Best of all, you’re probably already familiar our product — those books with the tear-out coupons for your favorite shops and restaurants.
Here’s how it easy it is to fundraise.
First, request information here. We’ll ask for basic information about your group and the timeline you have in mind for your fundraiser. Then, we’ll ship a sample book and order envelope for each member of your team. Have your kids take them home, or pass them off to parents at the workplace. The envelope the book comes in has all the information you need to take an order. And you don’t need to pay anything for these books, just return them at the end of the fundraiser.
Additionally, if you have friends or family around the country, they can order through an online order portal created just for your team.
The reason we can do this is because we've spent decades crafting an expansive network of local, regional, and national businesses offering up quality deals. Best of all, our books fill a vital function in the local community: connecting businesses that need traffic with the groups and customers who want to shop local. In this way, SaveAround is a pillar of the local community, fulfilling a similar role of bringing people together that your team strives for already.
It’s better than a win — it’s a win for the business, a win for the consumer, and a win for you, our newest fundraising group!
P.S. Does your team need custom apparel? We recently expanded our in-house apparel operation. Check out saink.com for more information.
]]>Financial responsibility is a complicated subject. Sometimes, it’s best to start small. Whether you’re just starting to think about setting money aside, or are looking for even more ways to cut down expenses, consider making SaveAround another tool in your financial toolkit.
We offer our coupon books packed with deals, offers, and promotions redeemable at local and national businesses. There are thousands of dollars in savings inside each book and at only $25 you can more than make your money back just by using the book where you already shop. We pride ourselves on our coverage – offering deals at places you might not expect, like your favorite local diner or small Italian restaurant down the street.
Our coupon books are customized with great offers for local restaurants and small businesses near you wherever you live. As we offer books for over 170 different locations, you can save at the places you already frequent – rather than just the same national brands you already get online. Click the button below to flip through the actual book for your location. We think you’ll be surprised at the deals for all the places you know and love, and even more surprised at the places you haven’t heard of yet even though they’re right down the street!
SaveAround offers customers a personal touch built through decades of business-to-business interaction and local fundraising. That’s another thing: you may have seen our books before as a fundraiser for your school, sports team, or community organization. Our partnership with the community runs deep, and there’s no better way to give back than saving some money, too.
Rather than going out of your way to pinch pennies in your life, save where you already shop with a SaveAround book. And because each book comes with a unique code for free access to even more deals on our mobile app, you’ll save even if you leave your book behind. With more money on your pocket and less on your mind, you’ll be able to focus on the things that matter: living life to the fullest.

]]>Those who’ve worked with us before know the answer, but it was hard to put into words! That is, until we thought long and hard about the value we offer not just to fundraising groups, but also consumers and the businesses featured in our coupon books.
That answer? “Coupons That Care”™!
As a company we firmly believe in the value that our product brings to consumers, fundraising groups and local businesses. What does it mean? We connect businesses to their future customers: the consumers and fundraising groups who actually have our books in their hands. For the business, that means free advertising directly to local customers, which we believe supports positive change in the local economy.
Our platform expands coupons beyond discounts, it allows businesses to create loyal customers and help fundraising groups and businesses achieve their goals. It’s simple, our coupons may only present themselves as pieces of paper or images on a mobile device, but the significance that they have on entire communities is astounding.
For fundraising groups
Each year we work with 10,000+ fundraising groups who collectively raise $15 million annually. Our coupons help fund class trips, purchase new uniforms and fund thousands of other projects and activities. Our coupons help make dreams become realities. By successfully assisting these groups with their fundraising efforts we’re truly showing that we have “Coupons That Care”.
For local merchants
We work with more than 250,000 local, regional and national business locations all over the country. They exemplify what “Coupons That Care” means.

That’s right, we have different books from California to Florida, and that’s on top of the brands you know and love. We have a dedicated team of locals across the country who keep busy signing the best restaurants, small businesses, and local attractions — and only the best make it in the book. What that means is you can be sure to find not only your tried & true favorites, but also something new, even right down the street.
Flip through YOUR book to see what everyone is screaming about! Savings so good — they’re scary!
We believe that nothing should stop you from an easy and painless way to save money.
Our coupon books are full of great savings with offers at both local and national merchants. While you can tear out the coupons you plan on using and keep them in your wallet, or certainly fit the whole book in a large purse, we understand that sometimes it’s just not practical. We wanted to provide our customers with an additional way to save, and that’s “on-the-go”.
We want to make saving money as convenient and simple for you as possible. So, we developed our companion mobile app that will allow you to save even more with extra deals not found in your book. Each of our books comes with a code for one year of complimentary access to the app. That’s right, great SaveAround deals in your pocket. Each coupon in the app is a great value — often buy-one-get-one or a dollar amount off — and can be redeemed between 1-3 times. As an added benefit, showing a mobile coupon is as easy as the printed book, so your added convenience is just as reliable as the SaveAround book you already trust.
Which brings us to the real SaveAround difference: Coupons That Care™. Studies show that customers love saving and will spend more at locations that offer deals. That’s why our book offers businesses big and small a free platform for them to gain exposure and free advertising just by passing their savings onto you! Best of all, our partnerships with countless schools and fundraising groups — some even down the street from you! — means that using your book not only saves you money, not only helps your local businesses, but also gives back to the organizations that need it most.
Today using a coupon book or app isn’t just about saving money — it shows that you care enough to use Coupons That Care!
]]>One of the common misconceptions about fundraising is that you need to be a good salesperson. So when parents hear about their children’s fundraisers, the first thought can be ‘I don’t want them selling anything’.
A SaveAround fundraiser isn’t about selling — it’s about saving money and helping the community. After 40 years in business we’ve seen many companies come and go, offering the same cheap, overpriced products. Our fundraisers have always been about offering the buyer — your supporters — something of real value. That’s why we devote all of our time and energy to making big, beautiful coupon books packed full of real savings at businesses near you.
When you spell it out that way, it’s really quite simple. Flip through one of our books and you’ll immediately understand why our books sell themselves. Anyone who shops or goes out to eat even twice a month can see the value in a buy-one-get-one entree.
That means you or your children don’t need to go door-to-door. Simply bring the sample book (provided free) and order form to the office and leave it somewhere public. Taking orders is as simple as that. With different editions all across the US, you can call up family members on the other side of the country to take orders, too. When your fundraiser ends, we’ll ship their edition right to them.
And new this year, we launched an enhanced version of our online fundraising platform, SupportOurGroups. This platform is easy-to-use and allows our groups to reach supporters all across the country. Since SaveAround handles all of the logistics for online purchases, raising money with us has becoming even EASIER!
So if you’re a teacher, administrator, sports coach, or are just looking for a Fall fundraiser, consider SaveAround! Literal decades of experience makes us leaders in the industry. As a small, American company many of us are parents too. We understand how busy things get in the Fall. That’s why we want to make fundraising as easy as possible — for you and your kids!
]]>It's true that buying a SaveAround book from a school, sports team, or community organization near you helps them raise money. But the same can be said for all fundraisers. What sets SaveAround apart is the value our product adds to your everyday life. You're not just donating money to your fundraising group, you're getting something useful and valuable in return.
Let's demonstrate. Most SaveAround books cost $25 and are valid for a whole year. (Some of our smaller books cost $20, but we'll ignore those for now.) Each of our books contains a local and a national section, so you can save at your favorite local businesses. But let's highlight some of the more popular national chains so you can see how easy it is to save.That's almost $50 in savings using only a few coupons! With hundreds of offers in each book you’ll likely make your money back in no-time!
When you break it down like this, it’s easy to see how your $25 isn’t a donation, but an easy investment. Simply use your book for your regular dining and shopping and we guarantee you’ll be pleased with the results.
What's more, is these are just a fraction of the deals available. Flip through a book to see all the great national and local businesses offering deals in your area through SaveAround!

Nobody likes ads. Billboards, radio spots, newspaper advertisements. They’re intrusive and not particularly helpful. And worst of all, it’s pay to play meaning you’re going to see the same big names over and over again. It’s often times hard for local businesses to get their name out there affordably.
When our founders started our company over four decades ago, we had a few humble goals. First, to help local businesses get traffic. Second, to help schools fundraise with a superior product. Third, to help consumers save.
Today our goals are very much the same. It costs nothing to include your coupon in a SaveAround coupon book. Small businesses get lots of traffic when they’re included in the book. Second, schools raise literally millions of dollars each year through SaveAround fundraisers. Third, consumers keep coming back to America’s premiere savings solution for all of our great deals.
In addition to being free for businesses, our coupon books are non-obtrusive. You can flip through it at your leisure, discovering new businesses and entertainment options, or just leave it in the car for your yearly trip to the water park. That’s the difference between us and other big players in the consumer savings industry: we stay out of your way. America is about choices, and we have always strived to empower our customers with the freedom to save wherever they want whenever they want. The choice is yours!
]]>While the SaveAround coupon books are known for great discounts at hundreds of local businesses all across America, we’ve partnered with your favorite chains, too.
Because many national businesses in the SaveAround coupon book have locations around the country, the national section of your SaveAround book travels with you.

]]>In the school fundraising space, we’ve heard it all. Lost or stolen product, a complicated ordering process, and unreasonable requirements can defeat the purpose of getting students involved in an easy, fun, and skill-building fundraising campaign.
After decades developing and testing our fundraising model in local markets, we’ve expanded to over 170 markets across the nation. Our product? A coupon book filled with great deals not just in your home state, not just at national chains, but in your very neighborhood! That’s right, here at SaveAround we’ve worked hard to include all the best local, regional, and national merchants in our coupon books. We’ve put a whole lot of time, energy, and effort into them because we’re committed to offering schools a superior product, wherever they may call home.
While many schools sell popcorn or snow globes, and indeed some grandparents may buy those products, we don’t typically recommend that kind of fundraiser. Their appeal is limited because those fundraisers don’t offer real value. Fundamentally, what your supporters get out of those kinds of fundraisers isn’t worth the money they pay. A SaveAround fundraiser is different because our book is filled with quality offers at the businesses and restaurants you and your supporters already frequent.
A SaveAround fundraiser is risk-free for you and your students. Each student interested in fundraising receives a sample book. They can use it to show friends and family exactly what they’re getting, and flip through to see the value it holds. This sample book is provided on consignment: if a student sells nothing, simply return the book at no cost.
While some children may misplace things, we solved this problem through a simple incentive. If the student sells five books, they get to keep their sample. However much the student ends up selling is besides the point. At the very least, students are take care of the book as if it’s their own -- because it might be!
Our effort to provide a quality product, useful promotions, and a streamlined fundraising process has wonderfully unexpected side-effects. Schools reported back that not only were students motivated to participate in order to earn their own book, but students were showing extra care and responsibility for their possessions. Simply put, our fundraiser motivates students to learn these life skills. New this year, we rolled out our online fundraising platform, SupportOurGroups — the perfect compliment to a physical coupon book fundraiser!
Getting started is simple. Express your interest here and one of our team members will reach out to you with the specifics!
]]>We want to connect consumers with the businesses they love most -- and save them money in the process.
While the SaveAround coupon books are known for great discounts at hundreds of local businesses all across America, we’ve listened to your feedback and have made EVEN MORE great offers available online, at no additional cost to you. That’s right — each book includes a code for one-year of complimentary access to our SaveAround mobile app.
Make sure to download the app for iOS or Android to take your savings on the go and use the code on the front of your SaveAround book for your free subscription. The SaveAround mobile app is location-aware, meaning that whether you’re traveling for school or work, or even moved all the way across the country, your app will help you find savings near you. And if you’re not too savvy with technology, flip any SaveAround book around to find the National section.

Then, you sell, recording what sizes and quantities are needed, and collect the money. A fundraiser can run a few days to a few weeks, whatever you find best.

You can of course resell your custom-branded apparel to your group, or just distribute it as you see fit.
